1. Re:Internal Combustion etc.I have always suspected that the electric car hurt the environment more in its construction than it saved in its use. But still can’t find a definitive source to prove it.

   1. Right. EV’s aren’t “emission free.”

      They simply move the emissions “somewhere else,” to the power plant, to the rare earth metal mines, to the cement factories, etc.

   2. Here is something that might answer your question…http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/2017/09/electric-vehicles-are-tax-on-stupid.html?m=1

2. Ref: Skynet, the ongoing automation causes an over-reliance on technology. As a Citizen-Soldier, I’ve frequently seen some of my younger colleagues freeze up when systems fail. Fortunately, some of us old fogeys still remember how to plan and battle-track using analogue methods: maps, butcher boards, pencils, and radios (or even runners). I’ve no doubt the next war will involve a digital front.

3. Many years ago, i sent by mail to my dad in Puerto Rico, some Mountain House, freeze dried food packages. After 5 days and no communications, he managed to drive to El Condado in the Metro area, get cell phone reception, and speak to the family, its, close to a hour drive from where he lives. He told me how bad it is, stores asking for cash only, regardless if they could use the credit or debit card, prices higher than normal, and only able to get gas, in the Metro area of San Juan. He even told me, he is making it by staying cose to the neighbors and family, and eating the Mountain House foods I mailed years ago. He has also expressed to me, now, that he needs to prepare. And he is serious about it. After so many years of me singing the same song, now some of my family memebers, are preparing, according to their budget. If anyone knows about the Bible and heeds to the warnings, as Joseph did when he was in Egypt, he had to prepare, please pass emails to friends, coworkers, to prepare, we need to keep sounding the alarm, before it is too late. God bless you all, and thank you for all your help, in teaching us, to prepare and care.

   Sincerely,

   The Real Phreaken Puertorrican

4. Puerto Rico. I have said this before. You have an island in the middle of hurricane alley and it gets smashed flat every couple years yet people seem surprised when this happens. I’m getting tired of paying for other peoples poor decisions about where they live. If you want to live there fine, just don’t come to me to rebuild it with my tax dollars when ever it gets smashed flat.
   I have seen pics of this place before it got blown away again, looks like a 4th world nation even before the wind blows. Build something hurricane proof or forget it. Tin shacks just don’t cut it.
   I suppose we’ll just print up some more money and fix Texas , Florida and PR back to the way they were so they can get smashed flat again next year. It’s the definition of insanity if you ask me.

   1. Apple sauce,apple butter,apple cider condense to small volumes and should be easily barterable if you can can’t consume it all. Hard cider and apple brandy production are very good skills to have

      1. This should have posted to weekly preps area in response to too many apples(if that is a problem we should all be so blessed)

5. Puerto Rico has no food, water or toilet paper. The power is out. So there will be problems with no working toilets and disease.

   I hope the people have the know how and supplies to dug out houses.
